Chinese Captain Lie Say

Chinese Major Li say was the first padang Major,

Info from Lie swan hauw

Lie Saaij or Lie Ma Saaij must be spelled in Dutch colonial spelling, as this was his name as entered in official legal documents.\Furthermore he was not the first chinese captain ( 1860) , but the first chinese Major ( Majoor der chinezen ), which appointment was done after he contributed more than 25.000 old dutch guilders to the Krakatau relief fund in 1883.Before Lie Saaij there were among others Lie Piet as captain of the chinese with Lie Kee as lieutenant. ( ±1855 )

he did not like the HTT Kongsi which built this temple and in the front of his house there a small street to the Arau River, there were Pasar Borong Market and many small Chinese citizen, turn to right the Padang spaarbank or Bank Tabungan Negara(now closed), I just have new info that the this Padang spaarbank was built by Gho chong ,grand grand pa of Nila Go who just send me the info .read the original info below:

One of my father’s favorite stories was how in 1905 he was talked into buying a printing press by a representative of a printing press firm when he had one too many at his club. He forgot all about it but one day the press arrived. He had no idea as to what to do and interested a few people into starting a first malay newspaper on Sumatra in 1905. It became a succes. In 1929 a commemorative isse was printed. I have no idea whether it survived the Japanese occupation.

when it was spotted by the Japanese submarine I-59 and torpedoed. It capsized and sank rapidly leaving one life boat (designed to hold 28) and 135 people in the water. 80 people were in the lifeboat the rest clung to flotsam or floated in the sea. Two of these survivors, one of whom was a Corporal Walter Gibson, were picked up nine days later by the Dutch freighter Palopo. Until the end of the Second World War they were assumed to be the only survivors. Sadly, Robert Kingshott did not survive and his body was never recovered. The reason that I mention Walter Gibson, is that he wrote an account of his survival which demonstrates the conditions he, and others, endured in the days following the sinking.

According to Gibson in and around the lifeboat were an estimated 135 survivors, many with injuries, including Gibson himself who was in the lifeboat due to those injuries. By the time the boat had drifted for more than 1,000 miles, to ground on a coral reef, less than 100 miles from Padang, Rooseboom’s starting point, only five of its 80 passengers remained alive, and one of those drowned in the surf while trying to land.

In Gibson’s account the ordeal that followed the sinking showed the worst of human nature under some of the most extreme conditions. On the first night many of those in the water drowned or gave up. S

ome twenty men built a raft from flotsam and towed it behind the boat. The raft slowly sank and all twenty perished three days later. In the first few days discipline collapsed men and women went mad with thirst, some drinking sea water which sent them into hallucinations. Many threw themselves overboard rather than face further suffering, and a gang of five renegade soldiers positioned themselves in the bows and at night systematically pushed the weaker survivors overboard to make the meagre rations go further.

Gibson claims to have organized an attack on the renegades with a group of others who rushed them and pushed them en masse into the sea. Brigadier Paris died, hallucinating before he fell into his final coma. The Dutch captain was killed by one of his own engineers.

Towards the end Gibson realized that all who remained alive were himself, another white man, a Chinese girl named Doris Lin (who turned out to be a secret agent for the British) and four Javanese seamen. That night the Javanese attacked the other white man and started to eat him alive. Later the oldest Javanese died.

The lifeboat eventually landed on Sipora,

an island off Sumatra and only 100 miles from Padang, where the Rooseboom started its journey 30 days earlier. One of the Javanese seaman drowned in the surf whilst the other two disappeared into the jungle and have never been found.

After a period of being treated by some of the local population Doris Lin and Gibson were discovered by a Japanese patrol. Gibson was returned to Padang as a prisoner of war while Lin was shot as a spy soon afterwards.

It is not clear at what point Robert died, but I would hope that his death was quick and as painless as possible.

Robert was my 5th cousin once removed

Sumatra:

The reaction of the Japanese took a day to set up but it is up to the challenges. It is indeed out of the question to leave the British foothold on an island of vital importance to the Japanese war economy. Early in the morning the dreaded torpedo bombers Nells appear on Padang. Private air support British ships have no chance of escape. The largest ship is the first target. The ship Dunera cash two torpedoes, then come Vals led by student pilots who did not believe to be launched in the fight so quickly. All bombs fell except water dropped by their instructor, a veteran of Pearl Harbor. The cargo Trevilley is touched.

A new raid occurs. Japanese airmen begin to collect dividends from their attacks. They run with their torpedoes and the Dunera Madras City and reach once more leTrevilley. This is a disaster for the British lose 87canons, 20 vehicles and 400 men.

The ship HMT Dunera flows to Padang. Sinking cancels the hand British Sumatra.

(The ship had Dunera headlines. On 10 July 1940 the ship left Liverpool with 2,500 passengers, double its capacity. “Passengers” are in fact prisoners of war and German or Italian people suspected by the authorities British sympathies Nazis. actually 2,000 of them are Jews escaped from Germany. Some of them are survivors of a torpedoed ship. Travel to Sydney last two months in appalling sanitary conditions. A arrival in Sydney énorme.Churchill the scandal was arrested in the House of Commons. Passengers are sent to a camp where Australian authorities are trying to forget the abuse. Upon entry into Japan war refugees are released and join the ranks of the allied camp)(121)

Sumatra:

The island was conquered in two weeks by the Japanese in February 1942 has not seen any military action since. The few Japanese garrisons live in a torpor punctuated by Equatorial rain and shake the earth’s crust.

The only question which concerns the Japanese on the island are the statistics of production of oil wells and refineries, as well as ores, rubber, rice. In short, the country is being fleeced.

At night comes a message on the office of Admiral Kondo Nobukate, commanding the IInd fleet. It comes from a marine commando unit of the 91st regiment of the Guard stationed in Padang on the west coast of Sumatra.

It signals the arrival of a British landing force escorted by destroyers Arrow and Foxhound. The big troop transport Dunera is identified. The first elements of the 6th British brigade arrive. Apparently there is a hand operation as Canadians attempt an equivalent four days later at Dieppe.

End of the day the British landed 1600 men. This is insufficient to dislodge the 1500 Japanese elite soldiers sheltered in their fortifications and bunkers.

August,17th.1942

After the huge losses the day before the British ships depart from Padang

during the night leaving the 6th Brigade to its fate. The landing force was divided into British deux.Malheureusement for them they did not go fast enough and are still in the range bombers destroyers.

The two trains met at the morning sailing northwest toward Ceylon. Therefore the planes come wave after wave and again it is a massacre. 3 freighters escorted by HMS Decoy are cast shot torpedoes. Fritillary corvette escorting the 2nd section of the convoy was torpedoed. Then the bombers are attacking the escort destroyers first section.

Throughout the morning the destroyers HMS Decoy Arrow and manage to avoid the thirty torpedoes intended for them. DCA of these two small vessels, dense and accurate damage several bombers. However during the afternoon bombers back.

A short ammunition anti-aircraft destroyers become easy prey. The Decoy attacked by 18 Nells can not avoid a torpedo, then Arrow impacted by Long Lance explodes and sinks. The Decoy torpedoed again tilts and capsizes. HMS Foxhound 2nd part of the convoy escaped the pack of the aircraft continues.

A British ship is in serious trouble after the passage of Bettys.

Japanese airlift continues throughout the day. A 2nd para regiment is dropped to reinforce Japanese positions.

A 3rd Regiment, 15th Marine commando Guard is deposited on land beaten by British artillery. 3700 Japanese are now hard at work in 2500 against the British. The Japanese did not attack. They expect tanks that are long in coming, wading on the slopes soggy Sumatra.

August,18th.1942

The Japanese continue to strengthen their defense Padang with an airlift. Their numbers reach 4,000 men against the British in 2500. 4 units with two parachute regiments were brought reinforcements entirely by aircraft.(121)

September,6th.1942

The assault led to Padang to force the 3000 British 6th Brigade to surrender failed despite the 9200 Japanese soldiers arrived on the scene backed by hundreds of tanks. Jungle promotes the defense of British hiding under the canopy for protection from daily aerial bombardment.

hello there !!
i think staff working at Lie kongsie as well as other family clan houses have no history books at all
Also their knowledge about previous Padang persons is very limited.
I went 3 times there, no specific data found or heard.
Your only chance is to find historic info is newspapers and books in the museum or arsip national.
writing and collecting true stories yourself is very difficult without double and triple checking them with old writings from trustworthy sources like newspapers ( dutch, chinese, malay ) from 1850 – 1945.
you may write me by email for further info.
